Yeah, that's the first show, actually.

Oh really? When is that?

On... it's on a Thursday.

- Next Thursday. | - Do you know...

...how you're getting down there? | Do you need a ride, cause I was planning...

...to go and see my parents soon anyway.

Oh really?

I'm free Thursday afternoon and Friday.

If you want a ride I | can totally give you one.

That actually might work perfectly.

- If you're going down there anyway. | - Yeah. I was planning to...

...that'll work out perfect for me.

That's perfect. So, I'll call you before | Thursday and we'll set it up.

- Alright. | - Ok. See you later.

HI, this Is Chris. Sorry I'm busy right now. | Leave a message with your name and number...

...and I'll call you back.

HI It's me.

I'm not doing so well.

Whatever we talked about | really upset me, and...

I hate It and I got a false alarm...

...about the wallet. Sarah Beth lost hers | and hers was returned.

I can't find mine. And I'm really stressed | out. And I'm already late for rehearsal.

I don't know.

I just like...

I don't know, like explaining to you...

...that I love you... Or...

I'm just really upset right now... And...

I'm sorry I got so angry, but I just can't...

I'm having trouble dealing | with things right now.

And I'm really stressed out.

I'm really sorry. Alright, bye.

End of message.

How're you doing? Everything's going good?

Yeah, my foot itches.

What?

My foot itches.

Your foot itches?

Yeah, but I can't...

You want me to itch it for you?

No, I think I can take it.

Well, I don't want to itch it | if it's the gas foot because...

...that might push it onto the gas...

...and then we'd ram this truck.

- I got it. | - Alright.

I felt us stop momentarily while | you itched and then...

I had to take it off the gas.

Right. Yeah. Makes sense.

- Well, thanks for driving, anyways. | - No problem.

I'll meet the other guys down there and | they'll drive from there.

Yeah?

There's really a lot of blinking | towers out here.

- I didn't know how to respond. | - I don't know what to say...

Mostly, when people are driving in cars | they just read the names of towns...

...on signs aloud to themselves. | That's what my dad does...

...when we were on long car drives. | He's just like, Ah, Danville.

- Danville. | - Danville.

- Coal City. | - Coal City.

Let's do it to this one. Here comes one.

I can't see it.

- Kankakee. | - Kankakee. I've been there before.

Kankakee. I don't know if I've been there. | I think I may. Sounds so familiar.

Not much to do.

Ada.

You think if I brought some hex | to Home Depot they would be able to...

...colour-match paint for me?

Which do you think we'll have first...

...a black president or a robot president?

It's not bullshit... Like... I'm sorry.

I won't have anything to blame you for.

I'm not gonna blame you for anything.

I will blame you | if you don't show up... if you don't come.

It's not like the phone sex thing at all. | They're like two separate things.

Do you think we would have any of | these problems if you were just here...

...and we were just together? | Everything was fine before we left.

I don't know how you think it's ever gonna | get better if we don't spend time together.

We need to be around each other. | We need to see each other and...

Love each other and touch each other.

What do you mean you'll call me back?

Alright, take an hour, | but call me back in an hour.

Really call me back in | one hour from now, ok?

Please. Please, please, please.

Bye.

- Hey Steve. | - Alex!

What's up, man? How are you doing?

- How's it going? | - Good.

- So... Did you guys play, yet? | - Yeah.

Maybe I can play... Next?

Or after you guys? Real quick?

I don't think... They got it booked | all the way till curfew.

- Did you drive all the way down here? | - Yeah.

I emailed to you, you didn't get it?

Yeah, I got the email.

I just thought maybe I could get in... | you know... Get in here real fast.

What about... Like... Last?

After everybody's gone, I could just play | like two songs... One song.

Like I said. They're already booked till | curfew, so once the last band finishes...

These are the last guys. And when | they're done everybody has to leave.

Ok.

You guys are more than welcome to hang out. | Did you bring anybody?

No, no, no.

Well, there's this girl with me...

...that came down here from Chicago.

But, ah... Unrelated.

So, nothing, huh? No chance.

I mean, it's all metal bands, dude.

Yeah, I guess.

Ok, well.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry, man.

No, that's cool.

See you.

See you later.

What's going on?

Actually, I don't think I'm playing.

You're not playing?

What happened?

I don't know. Basically, this guy | is just a complete a**hole.

He's just like a complete dick.

So. I'm not playing.

Are you still going on your tour?

Yeah, we're still touring.

Tomorrow I'll get to play and the next...

...when the other guys get here | I'll play a gig tomorrow night.

But tonight's not going to happen.

That's too bad.

But we might as well just get | out of here because...

...you know.

Tim.

Bring your stuff in here.

There's not really a good place | for me to set up in here.

Guess I can just...

Hey, were you wanting to have sex tonight?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Could you... Could you give me 20 minutes?

Are you serious?

Well... No.

Sorry.

Where's the light?

- This is too heavy for me. | - I got it.

Where are we going?

This is my room.

Do you have a computer in here, | in your room?

No. My mom has one. I don't.

But I don't know if it's hooked up, | and if you need the Internet...

I don't even know if it's...

I really need the Internet, actually. | I really have to get my email.

I mean, if you want to try.

- Where is it at? I can figure it out. | - It's in the other room.

May I ask you something?

Does your mom have an AO cord?

That goes from the back of the tower...

...to the AO to the wall?

Like a power cord?

Like a power strip?

No, no. The cord that delivers | power to the tower of the computer.

The tower... Like the thing that...

Yeah, the computer.

Yeah, the computer.

Does she have a cord that goes...

- To the tower? The power supply. | - Into the wall?

Yeah.

I have no idea.

So there's no cord?

You don't know where it is?

No. I have no idea.

Does your mom... | your mom might know where it is, though.

She might. Only she's sleeping right now.

We can ask her tomorrow but...

...she had somebody come | and set that computer up for her.

They didn't set anything up!

I'm setting it up!

I really don't know.

Ok, well.

Do you want to play a board game | or cards or something?

Are you tired?

No, I just gonna go sleep or something.

I guess I'm just gonna go to sleep.

Ok.

I'm gonna sleep on the couch, I guess.

- Good night. | - Good night.

Tim. This is Alex.

I'm in St. Louis. | Listen to me. You gotta...

...go online and check my email for me.

Because she is supposed to | email me and tell me...

...how to meet her.
